Quote:
The most important differences between the BH 4 installation (Fig. 3)
and the new power-plant (Fig. 4) are the elimination of the
intergral mechanically-driven supercharger and the carburettor
in the former in favour of the direct fuel injection and
no secondary (internal) supercharger in the latter.
